:00:04. > :00:09.Hello and welcome to South Today from Oxford. In tonight's programme:
:00:09. > :00:12.Jailed for eight and a half years — the man who beat his former
:00:12. > :00:18.girlfriend with a hammer after she ended their relationship.
:00:18. > :00:23.Also tonight: the guns that fire 50,000 volts. A police officer is
:00:23. > :00:27.accused of assaulting a suspect in a cell — with a Taser.
:00:27. > :00:30.And later on: The no—go zones — the homes with no postal service for
:00:30. > :00:40.months because of fears over dog attacks.
:00:40. > :00:46.Good evening. He attacked his former partner with a hammer and imprisoned
:00:46. > :00:49.her in her own home. Today 38—year—old Darren Stenhouse from
:00:49. > :00:53.Aylesbury has been jailed for eight and a half years. He'd previously
:00:53. > :00:57.pleaded guilty to charges of causing grevious bodily harm. The court
:00:57. > :01:05.heard how he carried out the attack after his former girlfriend ended
:01:05. > :01:08.their relationship. Today it has emerged it is the second time he's
:01:08. > :01:11.been sent to prison assaulting the same woman. Jessica Cooper reports.
:01:11. > :01:15.Darren Stenhouse, today sentenced to more than eight years in prison for
:01:15. > :01:19.making his former girlfriend a prisoner in her own home. During the
:01:19. > :01:25.attack in March, Claire Harrison managed to call 999 after
:01:25. > :01:28.barricading herself in a bedroom. The 38—year—old was originally
:01:28. > :01:36.charged with attempted murder but pleaded guilty to GBH charges. That
:01:36. > :01:40.999 call was made on the street and moment earlier she had been hit over
:01:40. > :01:45.the head with a hammer and bound with bicycle cables. When the police
:01:45. > :01:53.were called, they found Darren Stenhouse hiding amongst the trees.
:01:53. > :01:56.His victim has been left physically and psychologically scarred by what
:01:57. > :02:00.happened. In a statement Claire Harrison said the attack was "the
:02:00. > :02:18.most frightening thing that has ever happened to me".
:02:18. > :02:23.I think everyone is extremely satisfied that we've come to the
:02:23. > :02:27.conclusion that we have, that he is guilty and is being sentenced today.
:02:27. > :02:35.It will give Claire the closure she needs to move on with her life, and
:02:35. > :02:40.it is a message to all other perpetrators of abuse out there.
:02:40. > :02:44.When describing what had happened, the judge said, the victim must of
:02:44. > :02:50.been terrified. She could have easily been killed. On sentencing,
:02:50. > :02:56.she said that given that a hammer had been used and the perpetrator
:02:56. > :02:58.had previous convictions he decided he was a risk to other members of
:02:58. > :03:01.the public. An Oxford university college has
:03:01. > :03:04.paid tribute to reservist soldier who died during SAS training in the
:03:04. > :03:14.Brecon beacons. Corporal James Dunsby had working as an academic at
:03:14. > :03:18.Pembroke College. In a statement, the college spoke of its sadness,
:03:18. > :03:22.adding he'd been working on a chapter for a forthcoming book. Two
:03:22. > :03:25.other soldiers also died. A police officer from Wiltshire has
:03:25. > :03:29.appeared in court today accused of assaulting a suspect with a taser
:03:29. > :03:32.weapon in a police cell. PC Lee Birch is said to have used the
:03:32. > :03:34.weapon, which discharges tens of thousands of volts. Scott Ellis was
:03:34. > :03:38.in court. 29—year—old police constable Lee
:03:38. > :03:45.Burch appeared in the dock of Swindon Crown Court charged with
:03:45. > :03:50.assault after using a 50,000 volt Taser weapon on a suspect in a
:03:50. > :03:55.police cell. These events date back to December the 23rd of last year,
:03:55. > :04:07.when Daniel Dove was arrested in trout bridge and taken into
:04:08. > :04:14.custody. —— Trowbridge. The charge is one of assault causing actual
:04:14. > :04:22.bodily harm as well as a second charge of misfeasance in a public
:04:22. > :04:27.office. This was a preliminary hearing today and PC Burch did not
:04:28. > :04:31.have to enter any please, but it was agreed that because he is a
:04:31. > :04:36.Wiltshire Police officer that the trial should be held elsewhere. It
:04:36. > :04:39.will be heard at Bristol Crown Court.
:04:39. > :04:42.Swindon Town have signed the controversial former Newcastle
:04:42. > :04:45.striker Nile Ranger on a one—year deal. Ranger, who scored twice in 51
:04:45. > :04:51.games for the Magpies, gained notoriety for tattooing his surname
:04:51. > :04:55.on his face earlier this summer. He appeared in court yesterday facing a
:04:55. > :05:07.charge of rape, which he denies. A trial is expected in January. One
:05:07. > :05:12.year ago will go council was told it was failing in its provision of
:05:12. > :05:16.services to vulnerable children, now it has been told it is adequate. It
:05:16. > :05:21.was told by Ofsted last year it needed to make urgent improvements.
:05:21. > :05:24.Today it emerged that although the service is far from perfect, it is
:05:24. > :05:28.much better. The number of people working from
:05:28. > :05:31.home has been rising over the last decade, with the Cotswolds and West
:05:31. > :05:34.Oxfordshire among the most popular areas of the country for
:05:34. > :05:38.home—working. In the UK as a whole around 13 per cent of people do some
:05:38. > :05:42.work from home. In West Oxfordshire it's 19 per cent and 20 per cent in
:05:42. > :05:44.the Cotswolds. So what are the pros and cons? Angela Walker has been
:05:44. > :05:48.finding out. When Louise ran her business from a
:05:48. > :05:54.shop, she had to juggle decorating cakes with serving customers. Now,
:05:54. > :05:59.she works from home. When I was at the shop it was very
:05:59. > :06:04.long days and there were still a lot of things to do when I got home.
:06:04. > :06:08.Now, being at home I can be a little bit more flexible with my time have
:06:08. > :06:11.a little bit more time to myself as well, but also things like overheads
:06:11. > :06:15.are greatly reduced and I can still do the same as what I was doing
:06:15. > :06:18.before. But it can have its downsides — like isolation from the
:06:18. > :06:20.business community. The Oxfordshire rural community council says some
:06:20. > :06:24.villages have hundreds of people working from home who don't know
:06:24. > :06:27.each other, which is why networking is essential. That's where places
:06:27. > :06:32.like the Picnic Hamper in Chalgrove come in. We have networking events.
:06:32. > :06:36.The late breakfast networking event is a really good one which regularly
:06:36. > :06:40.has 50 to 60 people, we also have the Business Biscotti, which is a
:06:40. > :06:43.coffee morning event really good for getting out of your house and
:06:43. > :06:46.meeting other people who run businesses from their homes as well.
:06:46. > :06:50.Based on the Monument Business Park, people can host events here without
:06:50. > :06:53.making a long—term commitment. This has obviously got many units and
:06:53. > :06:56.different businesses in each unit which have different needs, so this
:06:56. > :06:59.community space means that people can get together and meet and share
:07:00. > :07:03.ideas and just be social, and being social is a part of good business
:07:03. > :07:07.anyway — it's networking it's talking to people. But for many,
:07:07. > :07:10.slow broadband is a deterrent. Unless that's addressed we're
:07:10. > :07:12.unlikely to see a surge in the number of people in Oxfordshire
:07:12. > :07:15.ditching the office. Angela Walker, BBC South Today.
:07:15. > :07:19.At one time it was thought about 30 or 40 per cent of us might be
:07:19. > :07:22.working from home, but that's not happened. Dr Benjamin Reid from the
:07:22. > :07:31.think—tank The Work Foundation told me why. I think there are a balance
:07:31. > :07:35.of pressures as to the drive towards more home—working, but also elements
:07:35. > :07:45.that are discouraging it. Relating to the disadvantages, some of the
:07:45. > :07:50.advantages favour part—time work. On the other hand, I think many
:07:50. > :07:57.organisations are still nervous about having people to far—away and
:07:57. > :07:59.they want to develop a strong organisational culture that is based
:08:00. > :08:05.on interaction and people working together closely. People can run
:08:05. > :08:12.their businesses from home, but what about employees? What's the most
:08:12. > :08:16.common jobs people are at home? The vast majority are knowledge workers,
:08:16. > :08:20.and that could be people in the creative industries, media,
:08:20. > :08:24.Management — all sorts of different industries. It is most likely
:08:24. > :08:29.knowledge workers who have that opportunity to work from home. There
:08:29. > :08:35.are advantages to working from home, it says on travel and childcare, but
:08:35. > :08:39.what's disadvantages? Certainly an amount of loneliness, that people
:08:40. > :08:47.miss the camaraderie and the possibility of sharing knowledge.
:08:47. > :08:52.Also, there is some data in the research that shows you may miss out
:08:52. > :08:55.on progression — out of sight, out of mind. Thank you.
:08:55. > :08:58.An Oxford theatre company which was on the brink of closure last year
:08:59. > :09:01.has battled back for another season of open—air performances. The
:09:01. > :09:05.Creation Theatre Company was badly affected by the wettest summer in a
:09:05. > :09:08.hundred years and a drop in tourism because of the Olympics. Stuart
:09:08. > :09:13.Tinworth takes a look at how they've bounced back.
:09:13. > :09:17.We few, we happy few, we band of brothers, for he today that sheds
:09:17. > :09:23.his blood with me shall be my brother? Shakespeare's Henry the
:09:23. > :09:26.fifth — with a cast of three. We've got our work cut out for us cos
:09:26. > :09:31.we're playing about 23 characters between the three of us. I'm playing
:09:31. > :09:33.Henry V, and also the hostess, Mistress Quickly, Bardorf, some
:09:33. > :09:38.soldiers, and the French court as well. Yeah, it's a lot of fun. It's
:09:38. > :09:41.one of the cuts made by the Creation Theatre Company, which was on the
:09:41. > :09:44.cusp of closure, but they say it's actually done them a favour. It's
:09:44. > :09:47.amazing actually. The kind of creativity, the invention you get
:09:47. > :09:56.when you're forced to. Actually it's really hard to imagine this show any
:09:56. > :10:00.other way. They've also started later in the season in an attempt to
:10:00. > :10:07.avoid bad weather and they've taken other measures. We've reduced our
:10:07. > :10:11.audience size as well, so smaller capacity. It just helps to reduce
:10:11. > :10:15.that risk. Even if it were to rain from now until 14th of September we
:10:15. > :10:18.know we're not going to be back in a situation where we're faced with
:10:18. > :10:20.closure. I think the future of the it is exciting at the moment,
:10:20. > :10:27.because although there are cuts left right and centre, what has come out
:10:27. > :10:35.of that, Theatre is providing new places for it to be performed. So
:10:35. > :10:39.much is done for us. I get to deliver one of Shakespeare's most
:10:40. > :10:44.famous speeches and you can look no further for such inspiration with
:10:44. > :10:51.these surroundings. Last year they kept going by fundraising £50,000.
:10:51. > :10:55.Stuart Tinworth, BBC South Today. That's all from me for the moment.
:10:55. > :10:59.I'll have the headlines at eight and a full bulletin at 10.25. Now more
:10:59. > :11:03.of today's stories with Sally Taylor.
:11:03. > :11:13.close. Supposing 90 children are on the books, what then? The schools
:11:13. > :11:18.Still to come in this evening's South Today: Sarah Farmer has no
:11:18. > :11:22.fear working with animals. From deer to wallabies, otters to bison, I've
:11:22. > :11:26.been exploring the wild side of the New Forest.
:11:26. > :11:29.So many postmen and women have been bitten by dogs while doing their
:11:29. > :11:33.rounds in Reading, the Royal Mail has stopped deliveries to more than
:11:34. > :11:38.100 homes. It says there've been more than 270 dog attacks on its
:11:38. > :11:41.staff in the town in the last five years and a fifth of those attacks
:11:41. > :11:46.happened in the RG2 postcode area — that's south of the town where some
:11:46. > :11:49.deliveries have been suspended. But many residents believe the Royal
:11:49. > :11:52.Mail is exaggerating the issue and they're sick of having to queue to
:11:52. > :12:00.pick up their letters at the sorting office. Nikki Mitchell reports.
:12:00. > :12:05.It has been four months since Nicole Ray had letters through her door and
:12:05. > :12:12.when she goes to collect them, they'll and delays. I am very angry,
:12:12. > :12:18.I had one that was late and I had a whale if come around and now he
:12:18. > :12:22.wants me to take 108 pounds. And all because the Royal mail says somebody
:12:22. > :12:28.here is conveyed dog without a lead and that dog has bitten the postman.
:12:28. > :12:33.This is web people from more than 100 homes have to come and collect
:12:33. > :12:38.their mail. There are often choose. It is my brother's birthday tomorrow
:12:38. > :12:44.so we have two go down to the Royal mail and pick up birthday card. The
:12:44. > :12:53.Royal mail has been able to deliver mail saying why their mail has been
:12:53. > :12:56.suspended. They are still coming past everybody's houses so they
:12:56. > :13:05.could still put letters up here couldn't they? It is health and
:13:05. > :13:10.safety gone mad. The Royal mail welcomes new laws. It is going to
:13:10. > :13:15.make some of the behaviours we have seen with aggressive dogs, dogs that
:13:15. > :13:18.nip, and also dogs where they are in their own gardens, they will be the
:13:18. > :13:24.ability to fine and prosecute owners who are not taking proper response
:13:24. > :13:30.will achieve for their dogs. Earlier this week, a postman was attacked by
:13:30. > :13:35.a dog and required hospitalisation. This is not health and safety gone
:13:35. > :13:40.mad, this is a very serious red to our colleagues. People who have had
:13:40. > :13:46.their mail suspended, many of whom do not have a dog, are losing their
:13:46. > :13:48.patience. They want their mail reinstated next week.
:13:48. > :13:51.New technology developed in Berkshire could help soldiers
:13:51. > :13:54.identify friend from foe. The face recognition software uses a headset
:13:54. > :13:58.designed by Google to tell its wearer information about who they
:13:58. > :14:02.are looking at. The company says it could be used in war zones or to
:14:02. > :14:04.assist people helping with international aid in relief
:14:04. > :14:10.operations. Here's our business correspondent Alastair Fee.
:14:10. > :14:20.You wear them like normal classes but these spectacles are one of
:14:20. > :14:24.Google's latest inventions. The headset has a range of uses, from
:14:24. > :14:32.searching the web to taking photos. New software developed in Berkshire
:14:32. > :14:36.means it also can recognise people. I can see everything normally but
:14:36. > :14:39.when I approach someone, the headset sends me a message that only I can
:14:39. > :14:45.see. The glasses are telling you this is John and he is not a threat.
:14:45. > :14:52.This is a tool for the Arsenal of people who work in difficult
:14:52. > :14:56.environments. —— and Byron. Troops have to make snap decisions every
:14:56. > :15:01.day. In every, this could do away with the use of either the cards. It
:15:01. > :15:07.could warned the individual is unknown. It would be able to
:15:07. > :15:10.recognise a face with a high degree of actresses and enable a person to
:15:10. > :15:17.understand whether that is a friend who is coming to help or whether
:15:17. > :15:24.that is a threat that is —— and unknown. The benefits that we can
:15:24. > :15:29.act truly identify the person that we are supposed to be working with
:15:29. > :15:34.to make sure they are the person we are working with in the field. The
:15:34. > :15:39.word of caution I would add to that is that we must respect people's
:15:39. > :15:45.right not to be identified by electronic means. This technology
:15:45. > :15:50.isn't available yet but it is expected to be on the market next
:15:50. > :15:55.year. It costs £1000. Industry experts say the cost could fall to
:15:55. > :15:58.the price of a smart phone. Once on the market, the real test of the
:15:58. > :16:01.software will begin. You might not be surprised to
:16:01. > :16:05.encounter some ponies in the New Forest or even a pig, but at the New
:16:05. > :16:08.Forest Wildlife Park there are some rather more unusual creatures to
:16:08. > :16:16.greet you. Sarah Farmer is there tonight. My goodness, there is
:16:16. > :16:21.something behind you there. Yes, this is a very large, scary bison.
:16:21. > :16:26.You can hear him breathing if you get up close. I have had a wonderful
:16:26. > :16:30.day delay. This New Forest Wildlife Park has 40 different species of
:16:30. > :16:34.animals being cared for by the staff here as part of their conservation
:16:34. > :16:37.project to get them back into the wild and preserve them from
:16:37. > :16:42.extinction. Earlier today, I was taken under the wing of the head
:16:42. > :16:50.keeper who took me in as her apprentice and what a treat it was.
:16:50. > :16:55.250 covers and every fussy customers. Less chatting and more
:16:56. > :17:03.shopping. This towel isn't for me to dry off. Look what we've got. Mr
:17:03. > :17:18.hedges. Pop him down next to the other one. Give him a wander around.
:17:18. > :17:24.Give your bucket a shake, server. Beautiful creatures. What do I do,
:17:24. > :17:36.handed to them? Yes. Frieda here is seven years old now. And that one is
:17:36. > :17:42.just too. —— two years old. I really do think it would be this close.
:17:43. > :17:56.The lunchtime rotor involved reading the bison. The links. And they quick
:17:56. > :18:11.catch up with the Wallabies. But for me, the highlight is to be meeting
:18:11. > :18:19.Topaz the tame otter. Oh you beautiful creature.
:18:19. > :18:36.I'm not sure who got wetter, Topaz or me but we have dried out since
:18:36. > :18:41.and I have the full forecast coming up later in the programme. In the
:18:41. > :18:46.meantime, I'm going to enjoy these beautiful creatures, the gentle
:18:46. > :18:49.lesson, —— bison, and the stack. Stay away from both animals as
:18:49. > :18:54.commission Onto sport and it really is a big
:18:54. > :18:57.weekend, Tony's looking ahead to the new Premier League in a moment but
:18:57. > :19:00.cricket first. Domestic cricket's showpiece day of
:19:00. > :19:03.the summer heads to Edgbaston and they're billing it as "expect the
:19:03. > :19:06.unexpected." Four teams have made it to finals day. Northants, Essex, and
:19:06. > :19:10.both Hampshire and Surrey who meet in the semifinals. The two teams met
:19:10. > :19:14.yesterday in the YB40 competition, Hampshire winning by three wickets.
:19:14. > :19:17.And the Royals have been kings when it comes to T20 cricket in recent
:19:17. > :19:25.years, this is their fourth consecutive finals day.
:19:25. > :19:35.I think this will be the big one, really. Through history, no one has
:19:35. > :19:39.defended their crown. To go there to Birmingham this weekend and achieve
:19:39. > :19:42.that would be massive. It's a farewell to T20 for captain
:19:42. > :19:45.Dimitri Mascarenhas can he lead the defending champions to glory again?
:19:45. > :19:52.His side have already beaten Surrey twice in T20 cricket this season
:19:52. > :19:56.too. If we had lost to study both times in the group stages, we would
:19:56. > :20:02.really want to be pushing hard to say, group stages didn't count, this
:20:02. > :20:08.is where it matters, and put a good show on. But from my point of view,
:20:08. > :20:12.we have nothing to lose. Whatever has gone before has gone. It is
:20:13. > :20:16.whoever performs best on the day. They have got some stars, we have
:20:16. > :20:22.got some stars, and it is whoever can perform best.
:20:22. > :20:25.As for Surrey, they're without Gareth Batty for the game, he's
:20:25. > :20:31.suspended after a clash in the quarterfinals. He has been a great
:20:32. > :20:37.leader and a fantastic man. To lose him has been tough. It was a
:20:37. > :20:40.hard—fought game against Somerset and sometimes the emotions spill
:20:40. > :20:48.over and he has paid a real tough price for that. We are still
:20:48. > :20:52.confident that if we can perform as well as we have done in the past and
:20:52. > :20:57.deal with all of the pressures and distractions that might come along,
:20:57. > :21:00.then we can certainly win. It's a 2.30 start tomorrow and you
:21:00. > :21:03.can follow it live on BBC Radio Solent and online via the BBC
:21:03. > :21:06.website. Buoyed by a record multi—billion
:21:06. > :21:09.pound TV deal, the new Premier League season kicks off tomorrow.
:21:09. > :21:12.Southampton fans will be optimistic that their side can continue to
:21:12. > :21:15.improve after an impressive debut season. For our latest football
:21:15. > :21:31.preview, I've been to St Mary's to assess the ambitions.
:21:31. > :21:40.14th last seen in —— season, a manager in his first full season in
:21:40. > :21:50.charge, so can Saints saw in the Premier league? What would you judge
:21:50. > :21:55.a success for this team this season? TRANSLATION: I think the sky is the
:21:55. > :22:04.limit. We have to think positive, the ambitions about our goals this
:22:04. > :22:10.season. The Saints boss has added power were to his team, the oration
:22:10. > :22:17.centre half from Leon is joined by another player from Celtic. In the
:22:17. > :22:23.engine room, there is the midfield maestro. He had the most
:22:23. > :22:28.interceptions last season and he is striving to get better. I still want
:22:29. > :22:34.to score more goals, I still want to get the goals back even more, I want
:22:34. > :22:39.to progress in every aspect because I am never happy with myself even if
:22:39. > :22:46.some people say to me I have had a good game, I am very strict about my
:22:46. > :22:51.performances. 14th last season, do you feel as a team you can go better
:22:51. > :22:58.than that this year? I think we can. We, all of us, we are very
:22:58. > :23:01.young players. We didn't really know what to expect from the Premier
:23:02. > :23:07.league we learnt very quick last year. I think we are a better team
:23:07. > :23:15.than seven months ago. Every player grows, it was an individual, it was
:23:15. > :23:22.a collective, and we are ready to finish as high as possible and that
:23:22. > :23:27.is what we want to do. Saints second season starts at West Brom tomorrow.
:23:27. > :23:32.Don't rule out another striker joining the Lambert by the end of
:23:33. > :23:37.the month but this group is ready. I can't wait for the atmosphere, for
:23:37. > :23:42.the fans, for everything. It is such a beautiful thing to play every
:23:42. > :23:47.weekend, to feel this adrenaline before a game, that is something you
:23:48. > :23:55.can't buy. It is just amazing, I can't wait.
:23:56. > :24:06.Big game tomorrow. There are the matches you can follow there.
:24:06. > :24:08.Meanwhile elsewhere. Reading host Watford and Brighton are at
:24:08. > :24:11.Birmingham in the Championship. In League One, Swindon are at
:24:11. > :24:14.Shrewsbury, MK Dons go to Preston. In League Two, BBC Radio Oxford
:24:14. > :24:18.follow the U's game at Torquay. Hampshire golfer Neil Raymond is in
:24:18. > :24:21.action right now at the US Amateur Championship after wining through to
:24:21. > :24:24.the last eight at Brookline. It really wasn't the best start to
:24:24. > :24:27.an August day, but these holiday—makers in Swanage weren't
:24:27. > :24:35.put off. Thanks to Robin Boultwood for that. And this picture was
:24:35. > :24:43.captured in a garden in Basingstoke. What is it looking like
:24:43. > :24:50.for the weekend, Sarah? A mixed bag over the weekend. We started with
:24:50. > :24:53.soggy conditions. You can see from the satellite picture earlier the
:24:53. > :24:57.progress of that band of rain. It works it way eastwards and has
:24:57. > :25:03.cleared through through the course of the day. Try, brighter conditions
:25:03. > :25:08.have been with us this afternoon. The showers will fade tonight is
:25:08. > :25:14.looking largely dry. Perhaps little on the chilly side, temperatures
:25:14. > :25:17.down to 12 or 13 but rural spots could well the temperatures down
:25:17. > :25:21.into single figures. As we head towards the early albums into dawn,
:25:21. > :25:25.the cloud starts to building from the West, with patchy outbreaks of
:25:25. > :25:28.rain. Eastern parts perhaps little brighter but the cloud soon
:25:28. > :25:33.arrives, bringing outbreaks of wet weather. Mostly light, moderate,
:25:33. > :25:39.maybe one or two heavier birth, particularly along the coast, we
:25:39. > :25:48.could see dusty winds, 40 marks per hour along the coast, 35 inland. ——
:25:48. > :25:51.40 mph. Tomorrow night, we will see the hand of wet weather clearing
:25:51. > :25:56.through, becoming lighter as the night draws on. A dry spell for a
:25:56. > :26:03.time, maybe some showers in the early hours. As we start the day on
:26:03. > :26:07.Sunday, the showers could well be a round from the very start of the
:26:07. > :26:11.day. There are few blustery shout was, a brisk breeze but we will see
:26:11. > :26:16.decent sunny skies through the course of the day. As we look ahead
:26:16. > :26:20.to next week, not doing too badly. We will see higher per share
:26:20. > :26:26.building in and things looked to be little more settled. The winds are a
:26:26. > :26:30.little bit lighter, we should have fun —— we should have some warm
:26:30. > :26:37.sunshine and we could well lead the temperatures up into the mid—20s. A
:26:37. > :26:42.damp, wet weekend to come but next week is looking to bad at all. Thank
:26:42. > :26:46.you very much. Enjoy the rest of your evening. We just have some
:26:46. > :26:51.breaking news coming in. It has just been confirmed in the last few
:26:51. > :26:56.moments at the troubled special school Stanbridge Earls is to close.
:26:56. > :27:03.The school had been trying to secure at least 90 pupils for the autumn
:27:03. > :27:07.term following criticism about how a deal —— dealt with allegations about
:27:07. > :27:12.a pupil being raped. They have not secured enough pupils and the school
:27:12. > :27:19.will now close. We will have more on that in our late news at 10:25pm.
:27:19. > :27:27.That is the Stanbridge Earls in Romsey, it is about to close. Anna
:27:27. > :27:32.Wardley was going to go back and try and do the last ten miles, we
:27:32. > :27:37.followed her, she and post—rehab to pull out again. —— she unfortunately
:27:37. > :27:42.had to pull out again. That is it from us. Have a great weekend. Thank
:27:42. > :27:44.you for watching. Bye—bye.
